Yes, it was from a 5" barrel, but it has been a few years since I chronoed any. Hopefully, WW has beefed it up some since then, but as I recall, what you stated (1240fps) was what they touted back then. Since I started carrying 9x23 and don't shoot USPSA anymore, I don't burn much Super ammo of any flavor. I used to carry .38 Supers, usually in shorter guns, so I did lots of chronography to see what was best, both in 5-inchers and shorter guns, both 4 1/4" and my 3" Craig Fantom Fighter. Nothing from any of the majors even matched 9mm+P from any barrel length, so I carried Cor-Bon. One I also recall was the 115gr. JHP load from PMC. It clocked a whopping 1150 fps from a 5" barrel. Cor-Bon 115gr. 9x19 gets 1425 from my Hi-Powers, so the PMC .38 Super question was, "Why?"
